WTB / Re: 460 Ford center rise manifolds
« on: April 10, 2009, 07:40:01 AM »
Those were stock manifolds on the Glastron 460's from the 70's.   If I'm wrong I appologize but check out the pics of mine.

That looks like them.


Are they any good for extra hp over logs and snails? Or should I keep looking?

How many different styles/brands are there for the 460?

Thanks for the offers I appreciate it but he said he would ship them to me.

He has 2 sets if anyone else is looking for a set.



Thanks, John

That is a great price on those, if you're in the market for center risers you should be jumping on them! There are better ones out there, but not for anywhere near the money, if money's not an issue then I say give Lightning Headers a call, otherwise call this guy and snatch those up ASAP.


Just got off the phone with him. I'm gonna pick them up.

I know center rise manifolds are pretty rare for the 460. I was just wondering if there are other brands available used that I would be better off getting?

He said the outlet on the riser is 3" and I'm pretty sure my tips are 3 1/2". Do you think I could change the risers to 3 1/2" or 4"?

Thanks for the link.

Are these good ones?

Or are there a better set I should be looking for?

Hulls / Re: glassed in speaker box
« on: April 07, 2009, 05:39:31 PM »


What kind of music do you listen too?

If you listen to mostly rock music I would put 2 or 3 good dvc 10" subs in a custom built box. Get some shallow mount subs (Pioneer premiers are nice) and build your own box. Would be very compact and sound equally as good with the rite amp.

I wouldn't use the hull as a box in anyway. I would build a totally sealed box for the subs.

Thats just my opinion though and I'm no expert.

Audio / Re: Jet boat stereo
« on: April 04, 2009, 03:07:55 PM »


This place has some pretty good prices on stereo stuff.

http://www.dealercostcaraudio.com/


I have a pioneer cd player with ipod hookup. Alpine 60w x4 channel amp powering 4 Polk audio 6 3/4" speakers. A Rockford fosgate db 500w x1 amp powering 1 Polk 12" sub hidden under the driver side dash area. It sounds good for the type of music I listen to (mostly rock).

IMO an amp to power the interior speakes is very important to get any volume out of your music. It's not such a big deal in a car but in a boat that is all open the volume needs to be turned up alot louder.

I'm planing to add a 3rd set of 6 3/4" speakers up front in the bow and possibly 2 10" subs instead of the 1 12".

I have a similar set up and here is what I know. I have an 800 dbbl pump mechanical secondaries that was just build by C&J engeering. They told me that carb needs a minimum of 6 lbs of fuel pressure. So I put a gauge on and found out that my old pump is not cabable of making anymore than 2 lbs......

Needless to say, I've ordered a new Holley pump, I guess my 32 year old pump has gone bad.....




I had the same problem. I put a 850dp on my 460 and could only get 3psi out of the stock pump. I upgraded to a clay smith mechanical.

I would say put your carb on and get a regulator and gauge setup so you can see what it's doing.

Lake Mead / Re: HMMM family event on lake mead
« on: March 15, 2009, 01:40:50 PM »
 I dropped in at Callville bay and did the 26 miles to Temple Bar Marina across the lake, and with the conditions it was awesome! We left Temple Bar at 6pm  and hauled ass back to Callville (Boat has lights) and the water was so flat it was insane. Got back just as it got really dark.


That was gonna be my plan too. Didn't get the boat running in time though. Maybe next time...


Looked like a beatiful day for Lake Mead!

« on: February 27, 2009, 07:24:21 PM »
80's seem a little big for that set up,start off with 72 front 78 in the rear.


Yeah I know thats what it came with. Carb is definately over kill but I had plans to grow into it... ;D

So should I keep the PV?



By the way I'll give you a call tomorrow.

« on: February 27, 2009, 07:14:07 PM »

It's a 330hp 460. Mostly stock with a weiand stealth intake manifold, holley 850dp carb, mallory unilite distributor, long bolt logs.

That's about it.

The carb currently has

-choke horn milled off
-80's primary and secondary
-25cc primary acc. pump cam
-50cc secondary acc. pump cam
-65 powervalve


What do you think I should be running for jets?
Also should I bypass the power valve or leave it?

Thanks, John

Engine Mechanical / Electrical / Re: 460 TT exhaust?
« on: February 27, 2009, 09:19:07 AM »


I already have long bolt logs and I run an engine hatch so I cant run headers unless there water jacketed = $


This is really my only other option the way I see it. Or get the adapter plates to run chevy manifolds.

Engine Mechanical / Electrical / 460 TT exhaust?
« on: February 25, 2009, 05:46:02 PM »


I would love to get a set of these if I end up keepin my boat. http://www.hardin-marine.com/detail~ID~2256.aspx

Do you think they will come down in price at all?

Or does anyone know of a place to get the rest of the parts to finish the exhaust for TT.

$3100 for the complete kit is retarded.

Boats For Sale / 92 21' Ultra Jet
« on: February 19, 2009, 06:24:34 PM »
This is kind of a feeler.

21' Ultra open bow 460 ford with a berkley pump.


I am thinking about downsizing a little bit and was just checking if someone might be interesed in a trade. My boat for a 18-19' jet boat of equal or lesser value + cash to make up the difference if need be. I really love this boat but I don't have a family and rarely have more than 1-4 people nor do I really like more than that.  I don't think I really want to go through the trouble of selling it either lake season is rite around the corner and don't want to be left without a boat.

Some info:

Motor runs excellent. Has new melling HV oil pump from High flow engine dynamics (Lakes Only), Armandos custom oilpans 10qt pan,  trickflow tall aluminum valve covers, weiand stealth intake manifold, holley 850 dp, hardin marine long bolt logs (gasket matched), mallory distributor, new starter. All done last summer. I have a new Clay Smith mechanical fuel pump ready to install after that the carb could use a little jetting.

Pump is a berkley split bowl set back from Ultra i'm assuming. Brand new mini droop and hydraulic place diverter both with 2 trips on them. Pump has a B impeller and rideplate.

Boat over all is in good condition. Full interior redone in 07. cd player, speakers, sub, amps all new last year, new windshields last year also. Gel coat I would say is an 8 out of 10 cleans up good still glossy. Last summer I had a custom boat cover done by Cover Me Customs in lake havasu it covers the entire boat including the pump and swim steps and goes all the way down to the trailer on the sides. All 4 tires are brand new  replaced last summer as well as the brakes, wheel bearings, bearing buddys and hydraulic brake controller on the trailer, trailer bunks wood and carpet too.


Wow looking back on that I spent alot of damn $ last summer! Crap!

I GPS'd the boat at 54mph in august on lake mead. I think there is more in it with the new fuel pump and some jetting. It's a little rich currently and only seeing about 4psi from the fuel pump that's on it.


These pics are from when I first got it before alot of the work was done. So if anyone is interested just let me know.

Thanks, John

« on: January 30, 2009, 11:22:36 AM »


I have a engine hatch and I'm not really ready to cut any holes in it yet for a scoop. That's my main reason for doing this mod. Currently I'm running a 3 1/2" tall flame arrestor so the hatch will close. That dosen't leave a whole lot of room for the air to make a clean transition into the carb

Sounds good thanks for the info. I'm thinking I might just get the proform main body that's already done.

Engine Mechanical / Electrical / Carb question?
« on: January 29, 2009, 03:47:44 PM »


I have a holley 850dp and was wondering where I would go to get the choke horn milled off? Do I need to send it out to someone? Or would I be better off buying the proform main body instead?

I called my local engine machine shop and they said they don't do that and didn't have any ideas for me either.

Thanks, John

Thanks for the replys. Unfortunatley I have an engine hatch so I guess I'll try and stay legal.

I'll look into a Clay Smith.

Thanks, John

Engine Mechanical / Electrical / 460 Mechanical fuel pump?
« on: June 16, 2008, 02:10:07 PM »


I can't get more than 3 PSI out of my current fuel pump at idle. I would like to stay mechanical and keep it simple.

I was going to use the marine holley 110 pump. According to summit and jegs it's been discontinued. I've also checked DMP, CP performance, and eddie marine. I can't seem to find a fuel pump.

Does anyone know where I can find one? How big of an issue is the vent tube could I get away with a standard non marine pump? Any reccomendations?

Thanks, John
